Now here's a place just to stand and watch the ocean, or, if you wish, wait for the passing throng of whales wending their way north for winter on the Barrier Reef, or South to the Antarctic, depending on when you are here.

And all the while you're only a stone's throw from a great cup of coffee, or breakfast at the surf club.

If we can resist the urge to scamper down the dune, there is so much to see, new life, flotsam, signs of living creatures. The dunes are constantly moving and hold no moisture, yet plants manage to survive and even thrive.

We are presently on the road again without a reliable internet facility so this blog is being updated by a machine. Sadly we are unable to respond to most comments, however we appreciate your visit and will endeavour to respond to all our friends in the blogosphere as regularly as possible!

The journey to the beach on any undeveloped stretch of coastline is a perfect example of the art of seduction.

A winding pathway in soft sand through the she-oaks dampens the sound of footsteps. We are walking in silence but for the whispering of the breeze through the branches and the pounding of the waves on the sand beyond the dune.

Occasionally the breeze brushes aside a branch to reveal the merest glimpse of the ocean beyond.

I really want to return to the wreck of the Dicky at sunrise and take some really special long exposure shots in the surf, but since I'm in France right now, that's going to have to wait, and you'll have to make do with these midday shots!

The Queensland Sunshine Coast Shires of Noosa and Maroochy merged with Caloundra City on March 15th 2008, and on that day this blog began. A few years later, Noosa left the rest of us to our own devices, but the blog lived on.

One could wax lyrically or even cynically about the beauty and amenity and emerging economics of "The Sunny Coast", but why not let the pictures do the talking?
